I take it they are a rare item them?
Not much to it, could be made if enough demand, only cnc'd aluminium plate, an effective add-on nonetheless.

I can't make them as I was of the old school, pre-cnc machines, i.e handraulic! But I do know some people that can, I have a few suppliers that I use.
In order for me to enquire I would need a pattern part to copy.

Or at least the dimensions in mms so that I can scale a copy and use the font from pictures etc.

If people were serious about wanting copies, then we need the dimensions of the block, distance of font from border of block then I can scale the fonts used to suit. Next time I talk to one of my engineering suppliers I'll email him that photo posted and see what information he'll require to enable the lettering to be reproduced.
*edit*
Having looked at the photo again it looks like the XPOWER bit is stamped and the lower text machined. The lower text is done by a small diameter cutter whereas the XPOWER part has very little radii in each letter.
